It would be fairly hard to really horrify my parents. The only thing they've said they really couldn't stand would be if I brought home a stupid person. People who don't like food or music would be frowned upon severely, but not ousted from the house. Luckily for my parents, I tend to like more or less the same types of people they do. And as for tattoos and piercings...I think tattoos are pretty cool, but I have no pain tolerance whatsoever! : )
